Any updates on Big Z?

[jmw23712]

I haven’t heard anything on his status in a while. Is it just assumed at this point the NCAA screwed us again and he won’t ever play here?

 

[CB3UK]

I've just given up hope at this point. I guess we'll hear something when wr hear something.

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

He's still Croatian.

Other than that, no idea if he'll be freed.

I had posted how ridiculous the NCAA is about a week ago. Ironically, this morning I was wondering the same thing. Is there some date where they have to make an announcement or decision? Plus, how do they defend a negative decision?

 

[BlueBomb]

Free Zee.

 

[blue cincy]

If it gets to the middle or end of December (even if he is allowed to play by NCAA) he will not the see floor this year. Just my opinion / guess. He needs a decision this week by game and I do not see it happening.

I think all of UCLA guys are playing (not 100% on that) and I think any of the others that were discussed are free. Why not Z.

It is a UK vs NCAA thing. we can ever get it done.

 

[FirewithFire]

He'll play next year.




In the NBA.

Heard he's sick again with the bubonic plague.

Heard he's sick again with the bubonic plague.

He's day to year. Out 1 day - 12 months.

 

[chevyman 50]

Shame on the NCAA.

 

[C*A*T*S]

Cal & NCAA haven’t seen him...

 

[Slowwalker]

If the NCAA wants to have it out for UK, so be it, but this is a kids future they are screwing with. If he won’t be cleared, just say it so he can go prep for the nba. As it sits, he is no longer allowed to practice with the team.

Make a decision.

Ain't just us they're dragging their feet on. College basket ball season is nearly a FOURTH over and they are still issuing waivers at a snails pace.

SHAME ON YOU NCAA

 

[the stat man]

What a useless organization!!

 

[mcwildcats04]

Would love to know what the grand total of waivers requested for this season was, where Efton Reid fit onto that list, and how far down the list Big Z is.

 

[NociHTTP]

He's day to year. Out 1 day - 12 months.

Did he get dropped off on Gargantua?

 

[Kentucky2022]

Time to get rid of the ncaa

There’s damn eighth year seniors and kids getting paid in High School. This is beyond stupid. Cal should just play him and dare them to do something.

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

Nothing but Pilgrim said Ugo should be back before the start of SEC play.

 

[jmw23712]

Nothing but Pilgrim said Ugo should be back before the start of SEC play.

While I think Z is a better fit for this teams fast paste offense, having Ugo back for rim protection and depth certainly doesn’t hurt.

 

[mcwildcats04]

Yeah sounded like he would be back in about 2 weeks so hopefully we see him in a game by end of the month.

He would if he could trust that Barney would have his back. But that clown is spineless.

Nobody on earth has benefited from Mitch Barnhart’s spinelessness as much as John Calipari.

 

[2Dope15]

We can all chant the NCAA is racist and spray paint their building, then maybe something will get done.

 

[Easternkybb]

What could the NCAA be busy doing? cause they evidently haven’t monitored shit in years.
They’ve just made it legal for corrupt teams to be more corrupt.

Big Z
Ugo already tried to transfer and now he's not playing
I even remember "The Beast" Matt Pilgrim never playing here.

Remember Camby?
Derrick Rose?
Remember when John Wall had to sit out a couple of games?

Pattern forming...
